Hi
Just about ready to launch a 272 I bought in oct. It was under a tree that was rotted and taken down last week. with it gone the fixed hatch near mast
started leaking in rain. I took it apart and the fiberglass was a little broken up
core wasn't bad. Glass wasn't that bad and could be re used. I cleaned out a rubbery white caulk. epoxied the holes for screws and about to try to put back together. I used Butyl caulk on all the stancions and cleats. I thought about using the butyl on the hatch but wasn't sure. Only want to do once. Wondered what any one else would recommend or should I use the butyl caulk
Appreciate any advice.
thanks
